Hi all.

I am having trouble connecting to a remote server using a database link.

This is the link:

Create public database link sphinx_remote connect to user
identified by password
using 'p:netserver2:orcl';

The link is created on Oracle Workgroup Server release 7.1.3.3.3 and connects to another server release 7.1.3.3.3. Network is NT 4.0. When using the database link the server returns ORA-06221, Named Pipe Busy.

After shutting down the remote server an error ORA-06233 tells me the SQL*Net Named Pipe Server is not running, which tells me the link seems to be okay.

Using a link name equal to the database or not didn't made a difference. The same error keeps popping up. Changing the global_name doesn't help either.

Similar database links on other servers release 7.3.2.2.1 work without problems. I compared configurations on both releases and can't find any problems. None of the Oracle manuals hand me a solution. I must be missing something but I don't have a clue where to look.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter. Received on Tue Aug 11 1998 - 23:26:57 CDT
